OBSOLETE REVENUE RULINGS

Published: January 21, 1992

Section 7805. Rules and Regulations, 26 CFR 301.7805-1: Rules and Regulations

Obsolete revenue rulings. Certain revenue rulings involving the repealed tax on the sale of lubricating oils are declared obsolete. [Full text this issue.]

The Internal Revenue Service is continuing its program of reviewing revenue rulings in the Internal Revenue Bulletin to identify and publish lists of those revenue rulings that, although not specifically revoked or superseded, are no longer considered to be determinative because (1) the applicable statutory provisions or regulations have been changed or repealed; (2) the ruling position is specifically covered by statute, regulations, or a subsequent published position; or (3) the facts set forth no longer exist or are not sufficiently described to permit clear application of the current statute and regulations.

This revenue ruling publishes a list of revenue rulings dealing with the tax imposed on the sale of lubricating oils by former section 4091 of the Internal Revenue Code, which was repealed for articles sold after January 6, 1983, by section 515(a) of the Highway Revenue Act of 1982, 1983-1 C.B. 405, 412. The listed revenue rulings have been identified under the Service's review program as no longer being determinative.


Accordingly, the revenue rulings listed below are hereby declared obsolete.

The Service will continue to review other revenue rulings relating to excise tax matters to ascertain those that, for the reasons stated above, are inapplicable to future transactions. Therefore, failure to include any particular revenue ruling in the above list should not be construed as an indication that the revenue ruling necessarily is determinative with respect to future transactions.
